There are plenty of open source libraries that allows web diagramming, and it is clear that the same PIM models (GMFGraph, GMFMap, and to some extent GMF-Tooling) may be used as an input for transformation/codegen targeting one of those libraries. This Bugzilla is to discuss the different implementation choices in this area. The most important of them seems to be: - should we use RAP? It was very slow a year ago, but reported to be better now. - should we use SVG or HTML5 Canvas as an underlying graphical engine - should the generation target javascript or, GWT java code, or e.g, Flash (see http://www.slideshare.net/architexa/conquering-gef-part2-building-graphical-webapps-with-eclipse) - what we can reuse from CDO Dawn - should we wait for http://gefgwt.org/ project planned for release early this autumn
After more discussions about the feasibility we decided to defer this for Kepler.
This is to be reconsidered if/when GEF/GWT project (http://gefgwt.org) will publish its port for GEF framework for the web platform.
Just a note on web diagramming, the eugenia team has recently presented a web based tool for to generate editors, see presentation [1] and demo [2]. [1] http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~louis/eugenialive.pdf [2] http://eugenialive.herokuapp.com/
